Two arrests follow suspicious fire

Chico >> A fire in the bathroom of a man's apartment landed the man and his friend in jail.

Kevin Matthew Abbott, 23, of Los Molinos, and David William Harrigan, 23, of Chico, were arrested at 4 p.m. Friday on the 600 block of West First Avenue after fire investigators found evidence of honey oil manufacturing in a fire at Harrigan's apartment, according to a press release from the Chico Police Department.

Harrigan was arrested on suspicion of drug-related charges and Abbott was arrested on suspicion of a drug-related felony warrant.

Abbott had burns to his hands that he said were from attempting to put out the fire, according to the release. Fire personnel found signs in the bathroom that honey oil was being made, although they have not confirmed the fire was a result of making the potent marijuana substance.
